Hi Dakota,
The final validation run and the training run turned out quite well. They were both done using v. 1 chemistry. The validation run produce 46.1 gigabases of >=Q30 sequence reads. The training run produced 60 gigabases of >=Q30.
For the training run we made our own (DNA) Truseq libraries and used indexes.
Next we will try some RNA libraries and some unamplified DNA Truseqs

Phillip,
how did your validation run turn out? I am trying to get a better feel for the HiScanSQ.
thanks!

We have been getting some hints from the sales rep and the Illumina technician that there is a possibility of an upgrade to allow for dual layer scanning of the flowcell in our HiscanSQ in the future. That would effectively double the sequencing capacity! Basically, giving us 1/2 of a HiSeq 2000.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was true. Since the HiSeq derives its imaging system from the iScan, I would imagine that the HiScan should be capable of dual surface imaging with some minor retrofitting.
As for this supposed 9-10x increase in data, it sounds a little far-fetched. Currently the output is rated at about 200-250Gb per run. Illumina has said that internally they have achieved 1.3 Tb runs, but I believe this is already using the upgrades in question (wider flow cell channels, higher cluster densities of 800-1000K/mm2). This would "only" represent ~5x increase in output. If they do have a strategy for another 2x of output on top of this, it doesn't seem likely that it will be in most customer hands by summer (maybe early release beta sites). But then again, who knows...

I spoke with my customer in AL last week and they said there are two upgrades that will take place soon; one in march and one during the summer. I sell them their computer servers and storage devices. They said the first upgrade will triple the amount of data being generated and then over the summer, another 3x. In total, 9-10x the amount of data will be generated per run compared to now. Their 1PB of storage will soon be gobbled up by these advances. They have 6 Hiseq's now. Is this what you are talking about?

HiScan SQ dual layer scanning rumor

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
